+ ==Pronunciation==

+ * Classical: [ˈdɪs.krɛ.poː]^(Wiktionary)

+ * Ecclesiastical: [ˈdis.kre.po]^(Wiktionary)

+

+ ==Forms==

+ '''discrepō''' (present infinitive discrepāre, perfect active discrepāvī or discrepuī, future active participle discrepātūrus); first conjugation, no passive, no supine stem except in the future active participle^(Wiktionary)

+ The perfect is ''discrepāvī'' in Varro and Cicero and ''discrepuī'' in Horace.^(OLD 2012)^(TLL)

+

+ ==Etymology==

+ It is [[af|la|dis-|crepō|t1=apart|t2=to rattle, sound]].^(OLD 2012)^(TLL)^(Wiktionary) De Vaan traces [[m|la|crepō]] to [[itc-pro|*krepa-]] and [[ine-pro|*ḱrep-|t=to rattle, crackle]].^(de Vaan 2008)

+

+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==

+ De Vaan dates it from Accius.^(de Vaan 2008) Its literal sense, to differ in sound, is rare, perhaps only in Cicero, who compares the slight discord of strings or pipes that an expert notices.^(Lewis & Short 1879)^(OLD 2012)

+

+ ==Semantic evolution==

+ From sounding out of tune it comes to mean to be out of harmony or inconsistent: Cicero writes that speech, the interpreter of the mind, may differ in words while agreeing in thought.^(OLD 2012) Of opinions and reports it is to disagree, and of people to differ in opinion, often impersonally, as Varro's “in medicine the writers disagree”.^(OLD 2012)^(Lewis & Short 1879) Church Latin glosses it differ, disagree, vary.^(Stelten 1995)
